Phoenix Comicon! And this week’s Faerie After signings.

I’m back from Phoenix Comicon, where thanks to Nadine Armstrong, Lee Whiteside, and the folks at Mysterious Galaxy, not to mention the con itself, we had a Faerie After launch party. We had early copies of the book available at-con only, so along the way–and throughout the weekend–I also signed many pre-release copies. Here I am in fey attire for the party: Earlier in the con, I got to try out my Faerie After T-shirt, hand-painted by my mother-in-law: There were also many panels, much good conversation, purchases of various interesting-looking random comics, a random evacuation, and, thanks to lnhammer, a complete Chinese zodiac: Also, there may have been a few temptations: Should I or shouldn’t I? But how could I take off to adventure through time and space so close to my release date? If you’re in Phoenix but weren’t at Comicon, you still have a chance to get a signed copy of Faerie After. I’ll be at Changing Hands launching the book on my official release date–that’s this Tuesday–at 6 p.m. Or, if you’re in Tucson (aka home), I’ll be signing there this Saturday, at 1 p.m. at the eastside Barnes and Noble. Come join me!
